Our members are inspired every day to make connections with their fellow local artists and the public. Camano Arts Association, or CAA, began in 1999, as the brainstorm of island artists seeking a venue in which to showcase their work. Decades later, the success of that first art studio tour, has created a mecca of talented fine artists, living and working on the island. On beautiful, bucolic Cama

no Island, Washington, CAA artists are inspired every day to make art, while also providing arts advocacy, art education, and holding the successful annual art studio tour, drawing thousands of visitors.

BIG NEWS from CAA Artist, Sharon Snelling - Sharon Lynn Art

🍷 My "Adagio in White" was chosen by Edward Lynne Cellars for their Albarino wine for this Mother's Day Tour. Buyers of this wine or the other two wines from previous years were able to get it signed by me. They have lovely award winning wines so I'm happy to be on the labels.

🖼 For the third year in a row I will be the featured artist at Gallery One at the Camano Country Club which is such an honor! There will be appetizers and wine and some surprises. The opening reception is June 5 from 5 to 7!

🖌 Two of my favorite paintings "Little Green Apples" and "Glory in the Morning are now living in New York! I will miss them but I'm sure they have a good home.

🎨 My latest works are "Snacking on a Saguaro", "Peaceful Pansies", "Social Butterfly" and "Parker" my pelican! I call Parker mine because he was such a ham a pier in Long Beach, California where we spend the winter. He just couldn't stop posing for me and I was just three feet away. He's very used to getting fishy treats from the fishermen there.

Congrats on all your amazing news Sharon!
